Previous to the year 1913 Switzer.
land was a league of scni-indcpendent
States. In that year of political up
heaval and change it became a united
confederacy. At the present time its
Government is based on the princi-
pies accepted by the Swiss in 1s4S, but
the constitution. precisely as it was in
force, was sanctioned by a general
vote of the people in the year 1S47.
1t is an interesting document, present
ing points Of agreement and disagree.
ment with the Constitution of the
United States.
The Constitution of Switze ri and
vests the supreme Legislative and
executive authority in Parliament OF
two chambers, one Of which is called
the State Council, and the other the
National Council. Like our Senate.
the upper chamber contains two
members from each Canton, or, rs VIC
should say, State, making forty -four
members in all. Like our House OF
Representatives. moreover, the Ma.
tional Council is elected by popu.
lar vote, on the basis of population,
one Deputy for every 10000 voters.
The most populous of the Cantons,
Bern, sends twenty-seven mem beers to
the National Council; the least popu.
lous, Uri and Zug, only one each.
There are 145 representatives in the
National Council. The suffrage in
Switzerland is exceedingly liberal and
comprehensive. Every citizen of the
Republic who is twenty-one years old
is entitled to n vote; and any voter,
not clergyman, may be elected q
Deputy. A general election of Depu.
ties takes place every three years
The two chambers thus constituted
form tho Federal Assembly, which
elects for three years term seven
members, in whom is vested the federal
executive autho rity. Any voter for the
National Council is eligible for mem.
bership In this executive body Of
seven men, which is called the
Federal Council. The Federal Al.

As to tho Strength of Ice.
Hartford Conn., Time.

iiaTyoTu ttoHh'l ltMG. N .E- ta.. 'r
The ice on the Connecticut river has
been lifted up by the January thaw" to
a line a good deal above the wharyes at
Hartford. Down the river Tor many miles
tho ssme thing 10 noted, the rising OF the
river, which lifts up the great body Of ice
all unbroken. Doubtless this ice is nearly
q foot and a half thick, at least a foot Of il
is clear, solid ice. Ita power Of resistance
against an enormous weight has been H.
Illustrated in some winters when the excel
lent skating has drawn upon tho river in
front Of this city more than 1000 men aud
boys at one time. Such a sight was Wit
neasod repeatedly in a winter perhaps
some fifteen or sixteen years ago, when
come phases Of the sport drew great
masses OF people close together on
tho ice, go that for a wide space
tho broad field was literally black
with human beings. Although no
accurate count. was made, and tbs only
knowledge OF tho actual number on The
ice was obtained through counting by sec.
tions, and then estimating the number OF
such section, there must have been a good
many more than 1000 pretty thickly
clustered together = perhaps at 1000.
Calling tho number !, 2OO-which was
much below the mark-snd calling the
average weight OF each individual 100
pounds (tor there were as many men IS
boys) it would make upward Of 10 tons
crowded upon \ place on tho ice. Aud
yet the ice showed. no signs'of cracking.
a test still more severe was applied to the
leo in Northern Europe in Napolean's
wars, with 9 setreating %army-the ice did
not break, with all the men that could be
crowded upon it, until the victora OF
shore 30 elevated the muzz!e of their can,
non as to make the heavy solid shot, fired
high in tho air, drop crashing down upon
the ice. That broke 1t aud drowned
great numbers.
